HONORING MICHAEL DAVITT.
A RoUsING DINNER TO AN IRISH PATRIOT.


ending of his prolonged tour in the United States
which begun with the Chicago Convention in August,
and concluded when Mr.. Davtt left the hotel little
after midnight and, and in company with Patrick Ford
and few other friends drove over TO the Gnlon
steamer Alaska where his wife had previously gone.
The dinner given by the Municipal Council of the
Irish National League and, John j. Delany the
president of that body presided Covers were laid for
$50 guests and when all seated it found that
there only a few empty places: The vigorous
defence of Father McGlynn by Mr. Daytt on Sunday
Others Bryan g. McSwyny who received a letter
from Father Larkin the pastor of the Church Of the
Holy Innocents last Friday asking TO have two tickets
from that clergyman yesterday returning the tickets
us he prevented attending, by circumstances
over which he had no control" Between the two
letters the Madison Square Garden meeting interviewed
when Father Larkin was on the platform listening to
Davitts fierce arraignment of the Italian Cardinal
Simeoni Mr. McSwyny charitably said that Father
Larkin probably sick" Close TO the guests
table was an orchestra which played Hail to the
Chairman Delany. j. p. Farrell, president of the
Home Rule Club, drew the chairmans attention to the
guests table, and laughingly suggested that
should leave the table, but every man of the thirteen
manfuy defed the superstition and held his place.
Letters of sympathy were read from Levi L. Morton,
Senator Evarts, Governor Hill and Eugene Kelly.
James OGorman was chairman of the committee
having charge of the arrangements and among the
other Irish Americans and sympathizers with Home

meeting in the Madison Square Garden had
strained his voice. He said, in substance:
